What we've always done for So Many Years is to self-medicate, to self-medicate and disconnect from this dissatisfied and miserable existence that we have because we've lost our way.
Ever wondered how someone can transform from a life of addiction to one of hope and redemption? In this episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, host Omar Pinto chats with Carrie Burgess, a long-time member of the SHAIR community. Carrie's story is nothing short of extraordinary. Once a perfectionist trapped in the throes of alcohol, marijuana, and painkiller addiction, she now celebrates over five years of sobriety.
Imagine teaching a dance class while intoxicated or breaking into a family member's home to steal pills—these were the depths Carrie found herself in. Her addiction was so severe that she often lost track of whether she was coming or going to work, fueled by synthetic marijuana. But Carrie's tale isn't just about the dark times; it's about her incredible journey back to the light. She opens up about the guilt and self-forgiveness that were crucial to her recovery.
She also touches on the significant role spirituality and community support played in her transformation. Through raw honesty and heartfelt moments, Carrie shares the challenges and rewards of maintaining sobriety, especially within her marriage. Tune in to hear a story that highlights the power of self-compassion, community, and unwavering hope.
